I do admit that I have a lot of spices and herbs. Whenever my friends come to visit, they often ask if I cook Indian curry with all those spices. My spices collection compiled overtime mostly because of my heritage and my past residences, I love cooking cuisines like Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Mexican which requires different spices. At first I thought making Indian curry from scratch seems a little intimidating as I thought it requires a lot of time and skills, but I realized that it can actually be very simple! The taste turns out to have a lot more depth than curries that use curry powder! I am sure you will like making curry from scratch once you start! You will not regret it!
